Concord is nearly here, and you'll be able to dive into early access if you have the right version of the game, letting you experience the fun ahead of everyone else.
I've laid out exactly how to get early access right here, alongside the start date and time that you'll be able to dive in - so read on below!
How to play Concord early
Owning the Deluxe Edition of Concord will grant you three days of early access, moving the release date to August 20 for eligible players.
This not only gives you the chance to dive in earlier than anyone else, but you'll also be able to get a nice headstart on your own progression, from finding your ideal Freegunner to building your ideal Crew.
This, of course, does come at a cost, clocking in at £49.99 ($59.99) which is £15 ($20) more expensive than the Standard Edition. Early access isn't the only benefit though, as you'll also get over 18 character and weapon skins to give you a greater sense of customisation.
While any progress that you made during the Open Beta won't carry over, you might also have an exclusive weapon charm and business card waiting for you, showing off your skills and dedication to the Freegunning industry.
Early access start times
Concord's early access period has a global launch time of 5 PM GMT, meaning that it'll be released everywhere at once no matter what your time zone is. This can lead to some awkward times depending on where you are, and it might even stretch into the morning of the next day.
Here are all of the early access launch times depending on where you are in the world:
| Location (Time Zone) | Launch Time |
| Seattle (PDT) | 10 AM (20/8) |
| New York (EDT) | 1 PM (20/8) |
| São Paulo (BRT) | 2 PM (20/8) |
| London (BST) | 6 PM (20/8) |
| Berlin (CEST) | 7 PM (20/8) |
| Seoul (KST) | 2 AM (21/8) |
| Tokyo (JST) | 2 AM (21/8) |
| Sydney (AEST) | 3 AM (21/8) |
You can now preload the game on both PlayStation and PC (via Steam), so make sure to do that so you're not waiting when you could be playing!
